The trailer's so nice you posted it twice. ;)

Looks good & I hope it's fun to see but I am wondering why we're starting at square one again?

PS - I will end up going, however, 'cause I'm a Spidey fan & have two young boys who will want to see it. They already have me going to see the 3D version of the Star Wars movies. ;-)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!



Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

@3thomstel: hehehehe. Too funny.

Sometimes a dad has to do what a dad has to do. ;-)

@2 I was never a huge fan of the Raimi movies. Spider-man is supposed to sarcastic and flinging quips as much as webs but Raimi's always felt like too much camp for me. With that said, I'm very excited we're getting a reboot instead of a continuation. I think a Spidey with some edge will be a great take on the character. Plus, the entire cast is awesome.

I was a little worried after the first trailer was released but this one completely restores my faith that this movie will be just as Amazing (pun intended) as I first thought it could be.

I can't wait for the 2018 reboot!

That sweater is so tight, I think it's computer generated.

Heh. That's not a trailer, thats a full length synopsis.

Par for the course these days I guess, and it does look like fun.

The quip was good and definitely spidey but the outfit looked all wrong and... mechanical web-shooters? Ugh.

Sure it looks amazing, but why don't all those clearly talented creative people behind this, hmmm, I don't know, CREATE something new?

The reason is fairly simple, the creative people no longer control what they make, marketing does. So, for the same reason McD makes every meal look, taste, smell and feel exactly the same, to produce a feeling of familiarity and comfort, we are been served up unpalatable sluck. It is why the hobbit is being made into two movies - absurd given the story, Star Wars is being rehased again *shudder*. Matt Trey and Stone Parker put this brilliantly

This has to stop.

@9 Why do mechanical web-shooters get an "ugh"? That's what it should have been in the first place but Raimi decided to pull a shortcut out of his butt and make it come out of his wrists.

I'm a big fan of the costume as well. I just think my disadain for the Raimi films has made me very agreeable to everything this reboot is doing. Also Andrew Garfield + Emma Stone = Must See.

ShiningArmor @11: Raimi did not "pull a shortcut out of his butt." The screenplay was written by David Koepp from a treatment by James Cameron, which already had the non-mechanical webs.

Raimi explained pretty clearly why he agreed with that change: it's one thing to ask people to believe one weird-science premise (radioactive spider powers), but it's more of a stretch to mix it up with another totally different one (high school kid inventing miracle materials at home)... especially if you're going to play up the ordinary-teenager aspect of Peter's character. It's one of those goofy Stan Lee ideas that works OK in a comic with a very limited connection to reality, but in a live-action feature it would just raise all sorts of distracting questions like "So why is he always broke? Wouldn't that invention be worth something?" and "Why doesn't he have to refill the web shooters every half minute?"

#11 I just think it's part of this increasing trend to appeal to a family audience with nothing even remotely challenging because there was a neat metaphor of a teenage boy's body going through it's physical changes which the original reboot handled very nicely.

I'll go see it for just one reason - Andrew Garfield. The 2007 Doctor Who episode "Daleks in Manhattan" had him doing an Appalachian accent like a native, almost the only good American accent in the whole production, and since I notice such things, I've tried to follow him. I'm really not sure about him as Spider-Man, but I'm willing to give him a chance...actors with that ear for accent and language seem to be rare. (Actors that realize that Southern and Appalachian accents are different things are also rare, especially British actors. But then Americans aren't always so good at replicating all the different strains of UK accents, either.)

Yes, he is a very good actor. Everyone should watch Boy A if you haven't already; one of his early roles and was superb.
